The BS blue looks good but it just looks good in the picture per the contrast with the other colors.

According to the paint thickness meter and Nissan Japan, the Bayside Blue is >320 microns thick

Other paints including MP are >110 microns thick

B/Blue has a much thicker base coat + extra top coat.

Peter CEO of Bodyform Aero says that he warns all B/Blue GT-R owners that bodykits need to painted with a thicker and appropriate base coat; otherwise the Blue won't look as deep.

Roger. Good info, mate.

I'm not sure if it's correct or incorrect that the GT-T or GT Bayside Blue paint might just be the standard >110 microns thickness.

I'm aware that it will still have the same colour code.

I just know that when the B/Blue GT-R is parked next to a clean Blue Mazda 3, the B/Blue paint does look deeper.

silver is the colour commonly seen on the z-tune 34 so that could be another popular choice, but i voted for bayside blue - you'd attract a ton of fast and furious fans lol

Just wondering if in future you can refer to it as Bayside Blue or B/Blue ???

:P

Was wondering when someone would pick up on that lol

As for my opinion, i'd say take either the Black or B/blue (Terry), which ever one popped up in the right condition first.

Thanks Steve.

In that case, I haven't gone too far wrong hehe...

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
